Mondays Book Talk - The Diviner

Written by Ben Kesp

The Diviner by Joe Cassidy 

An inspirational and truly motivating story this week by Irish author Joe Cassidy called The Diviner. A man with an exceptional gift and no matter how he tried to live an ordinary life, his gift and true purpose in life would push him to the brink of serious ill health until it shone through in order for Joe to fulfil his destined path. 

This is truly a remarkable read and Joe is a wonderful storyteller, often leaving me in goosebumps after reading of his encounters, working with energy and as a diviner. This is a true story of a man and his spiritual journey in life. Not only does Joe describe the ancient art of divining but also shares his experiences of working with what we don’t often see in our physical world around us. He investigates issues of stress on our landscape, homes or at ancient sites of rituals, tormented by negative energy, spirits or other worldly phenomena. 

Joe is an ordinary man, down to earth and tells his story that way. It’s simply written as if you are standing talking with him at the side of the road. This book can open one’s eyes to experiences which you can disbelieve but Joe explains the truth and reasoning behind such phenomena that may affect our lives on a daily basis in our homes or on the land around us. Not only does Joe work with people, releasing stresses on homes but also heals animals from sicknesses and other incapacities – often doing this through distance by receiving a phone call from the animal’s owner. 

A healer and a diviner with an understanding of the world of energy, The Diviner is a beautiful read which will open our eyes to the world around, beneath and within us.
